Issues
Fracking
DelGross, who represents Loveland residents, announced his opposition to the Loveland fracking moratorium initiative, Question 1, which was defeated. At the same time he urged voters to fight against national environmental groups trying to more heavily restrict the energy industry. DelGrosso said, in calls to local voters in Loveland, “Loveland has become the pivotal national battleground in the fight between extreme environmental groups and people like us – people who believe in the need for an “all of the above” energy policy and the need for greater energy independence.” He also said, “This community belongs to us, not environmental interest groups and not liberal activists."[1]
B.J. Nikkel, director of the anti-Question 1 group called Loveland Energy Action Project (LEAP) and former member of the Colorado House of Representatives, said, “Representative DelGrosso has become an important voice for Loveland at the Colorado statehouse and he clearly understands the devastating effects Question 1 would have on our economy and our future."[1]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
